Girlfriends for cellulite
"You have to take care of yourself," I said every morning, "Remove those ill-fated" ears "from the thighs and the nasty" crust ", too." Going to the gym was shy. And for aerobics, and dancing ... What will my "fats" look like and cellulite against the background of tightened, just out of the tanning beds of girls? To cheer up, I conducted a survey among my girlfriends: do they have cellulite. What do you think? 90% of his friends described it in detail. 50% even attempted to demonstrate.
After studying the history of the issue, I found out that cellulite refers to female secondary sexual characteristics - that is, one way or another manifests itself in all women without exception. And this happens not only because of the accumulation of excess fluid in the adipose tissue, but also because of the uneven deposition of the subcutaneous fat itself in the problem areas. If blood circulation in these zones is disrupted, cellulite will be clearly visible. So, I thought, in order to "cure" it, it is necessary to make sure that the blood constantly poured to the thighs and buttocks, and toxins and excess fluid were destroyed. But how to achieve this?
Vacuum against cellulite
On the websites of several sports clubs, I saw enigmatic photographs: girls dressed in unusual suits with some pipes, walked on a treadmill or pedaled on an exercise bike. It was called "vacuum training". "As always," I thought, "they lure customers into some kind of nonsense." But then she read the details and became interested. In various cosmetology salons, where such a procedure was carried out, they promised weight reduction and improvement of the relief in the abdomen and thighs. This funny suit, it turns out, is equipped with hundreds of special cameras, each of which works like a sucker. It does not require a special load, you just walk along the path, and it all works itself. I called one of the clubs and the next day, curious by the curiosity, I flew to class.
Only after the test
Before the start of the training, I was given a fitness test and brought in a special card-file. It turned out that this is a common procedure for everyone who decided to work out in the gym. In order to find out about myself the whole truth, I had to walk for about ten minutes on the treadmill - then with sensors, then without them. The doctor found out how my cardiovascular system reacts to physical stress. Determined the percentage of adipose tissue and water in the body. He fixed the recommended heart rate when performing cardio exercises - so that he does not exceed his norm during classes. I gave recommendations on the regime of drinking and nutrition. And also recorded my volumes and weight at that time - to monitor the changes.
Since I was going to fight cellulite, at my request they also conducted an individual test to determine my ideal weight - you need to know what to strive for. N-yes - 15% of the current kilograms were clearly superfluous. Lose weight and deal with cellulite will help a vacuum massage course - three times a week for half an hour.
Land diver
As for any sport, a special form is needed for training on a vacuum simulator. In order not to rub the skin, I dressed in bicycles and a cotton jersey. The vacuum simulator stood in a row of racetracks and did not differ too much from them. But then came the coach with my suit, and I realized that I would be among the other visitors, like the pava in the henhouse. Or vice versa. It was some sort of scuba suit - only the fin and the mask with the tube was not enough.
"The main thing is that the suit is sitting!" - the coach croaked, helping me to pull up the rubberized outfit. A temperature sensor was attached to the thigh to monitor the temperature rise during the session. When the arms and legs and even the head were pushed into the right holes, a clasp was buzzing from behind - it's ready! It was hard to walk in such clothes. I felt huge, just a giantess. On the path I literally hoisted. The coach put a glass of water next to it and connected the suit with hoses coming out of the "back" to the rack with the control panel of the simulator. And I set out on my journey.
Hamsters and mountain fitness
I rearrange my legs, wiggle my hands, smile, as if walking on a chamomile field, and I feel something in the area of the hips and abdomen, something starts to "put pressure on the mass." "It's not right for those who do not like pets," I think. "Like a flock of small and very strong hamsters decided that my stomach is a great trampoline, where you can leap for it." Immediately I remembered the course of a can of massage, which I also went through. Sensations similar, but not so painful. In addition, the skin is not injured, no bruising. Although, running ahead, I will say that a couple of bruises on my hips I later discovered.
The strength of the impact depends on the individual parameters of the person who are entered into the computer. Load - from 10 to 40 millibar (this is how to do fitness in the mountains at a height of two and a half thousand meters). Ten minutes of walking - and I'm sweating.
- Cotton T-shirt - this is right, - encourages the coach - The pot will be well absorbed. It is also important to eat right. Remember: before the occupation more carbohydrates (porridge, spaghetti), after - protein (cottage cheese, meat, fish). And within an hour after classes it is better to refrain from eating altogether.
I go, listen and feel how the heat enters the lower part of the body.
- Now the metabolic processes in the hips and abdomen are accelerating, - says my coach, - only the effect of training will be visible after 6-8 hours. If you planned any other classes for today, postpone. Sauna, by the way, is also not recommended.
Training for chatters
It turned out that for a similar fight with cellulite in cosmetology salons most often women after thirty agree. Training is useful for those who can not engage in active sports: for example, there was some kind of trauma or it is necessary to recover after pregnancy ... On the other hand, often just friends come. After all, when you are engaged in the gym, you need to monitor the correctness of the exercises, for breathing ... In general, just chatting with friends is unlikely to succeed. And here you can get rid of cellulite, and lose weight, and communicate. No wonder the vacuum simulator is called a simulator for lazy people.
Of course, there are contraindications, but there are few risk factors. This pregnancy, serious gynecological problems, diseases of the cardiovascular system, blood diseases. One should be careful if there is varicose veins. You can go to the simulator, but the lessons should be short, about ten minutes, and the load - very gentle.
As you might guess, this evening I called my soul mate who also complained about cellulite, and we went to the next class together.
Consolatory results
For two months, every second day I started with walking in a diving suit. With a friend we discussed all the pressing problems and issues. But it was not the most joyful. Serious changes in weight were not, but the waist, hips and legs diminished. At the waist I lost 5 cm and was very proud of it. Cellulite did not completely disappear, but at least the tuberosity, which I was so embarrassed about, was no longer there. Then I still got bored walking just like that. I looked at active people with dumbbells and decided, after completing the vacuum training course, to go to the gym. It's time, incidentally!
